>Description:
After switching to the X.org server/libraries, etc, the Gnome "Workspace Switcher" applet will not start.  The text from a Gnome error pop-up follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_WorkspaceSwitcherApplet".
Details: Failed to resolve, or extend '!prefs_key=/apps/panel/profiles/default/applets/applet_17/prefs;background=none:;orient=up;size=small;locked_down=false

Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?  (yes or no)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Subsequent attempts to start the Workspace Switcher increment the applet number in the path mentioned in the error message.
